Our Story
Asalamualykum my sisters!
I’m so excited to share with you the story of ShamsWaQamar, the brand of my dreams. As a 21-year-old fashion-obsessed hijabi, I wanted to create a space where modesty and style beautifully intertwine. More than that, I wanted to create a community that represents the values we share and do our part to create a world we want to live in. In 2024, I embarked on this amazing journey to bring ShamsWaQamar to life, and I can’t wait to share it with all of you!
The Heart Behind the Name
When deciding on a name, I knew I wanted something that represented my Arab heritage and the sisterhood I strive to create. What better way than to pay tribute to my own older sister! Growing up, she was my "Qamar" (Moon) and I was her "Shams" (Sun). These nicknames perfectly capture the essence of our brand: radiant and serene, illuminating the path to modesty. The love and support of my family, especially my father, have been the cornerstone of this venture, and it’s this sense of family that I want to extend to
Rooted in My Heritage
As a proud Yemni and Syrian woman, my roots deeply influence every aspect of ShamsWaQamar. With the unwavering support of my father, I was able to bring this dream to life. I hope to incorporate the beauty, traditions, and stories of the Middle East—my true home—into the heart of this business. Through our collections, I aspire to share these rich stories and bring a piece of the Middle East to the West, bridging cultures through the art of modest fashion.
Creating Your Perfect Modest Wardrobe
I’ve always dreamt of having a closet filled with beautiful, high-quality pieces that align with my beliefs. That’s why ShamsWaQamar offers a range of stunning and versatile garments that also solve an array of problems I’ve noticed in pieces currently on the market. From elegant dresses and chic abayas to stylish hijabs and wardrobe staples, each item is thoughtfully designed and ethically made. Our commitment to quality and ethical production means you can build your wardrobe without compromising your morals.

Our clothing aims to enhance this inner light. With a wide range of styles and sizes, we ensure that every woman can find something that resonates with her unique taste and personality.

Looking Ahead with Excitement
The journey of ShamsWaQamar has just begun, and I’m thrilled about what the future holds. Our vision is to illuminate the path of modesty with fashion that is both beautiful and respectful of Islamic values. These include giving back, a focus on knowledge, and supporting one another. With each new collection, we aim to inspire, uplift, and celebrate the nūr within every modest woman.
Thank you for being a part of this incredible journey. ShamsWaQamar is more than just a fashion brand; it’s a movement that embraces the essence of Islamic beauty, offering a sanctuary where faith and fashion unite in perfect harmony. Here’s to shining brightly together!
